Whether you’re a first-time buyer drawn to its charm and functionality or a developer seeking upside in a desirable West Seattle location, this property offers versatility, character, and long-term value—all just minutes from Lincoln Park, the Vashon ferry terminal, and with easy access to Hwy 509, plus nearby amenities, parks, and schools.
